OBS Chapter 292 Strange
Chapter 292 Strange
The next morning, Howard woke up an hour early. It was a rare good night's sleep for him in the past few days.
He sat up from the bed and stretched his arms. He felt a slight tingling sensation in his muscles. This feeling did not cause him any discomfort, but instead made him feel very comfortable.
After high-intensity exercise, muscles will be damaged to a certain extent, and the feeling of soreness and numbness is the body repairing these damaged muscles. After the repair is completed, the total amount of muscle will be greater than before.
When he was in Kalimdor, he would feel so painful when he woke up the next day after strenuous exercise. Now, after running for four or five days, his muscles are just sore, which shows his physical improvement.
If he does it a few more times and takes in nutrition scientifically, Howard will probably be able to grow muscles like a nun.
Although in this universe, growing muscles of that size is useless.
After stretching his body, Howard got out of bed. After a simple wash, he found some biscuits and salty cheese from the freezer and made a quick breakfast. Finally, he began to put on the clothes prepared for him by the Governor.
The process of putting on these clothes is very cumbersome, with all kinds of buttons, knots and belts, and a total of three or four layers inside and outside. Howard put on the two innermost layers of lining with great difficulty, but he got stuck while putting on the outer clothes and almost fell.
But it's not his fault. These noble lords usually need someone to serve them even to put on clothes. If some noble lords didn't have servants to hold up the fat on their bellies, they probably wouldn't even be able to put on their pants.
"Mr. Howard? Are you up? Can I come in?" At this time, there was a knock on the balcony door.
"Come in," Howard answered subconsciously, but then he realized his embarrassment and said hurriedly, "No, no! Wait, wait! Don't come in yet!"
But he was too late. May had already opened the door and entered the guest room, and then she saw Howard, who was like a kitten tangled in a ball of yarn.
The Eldar was either stunned or observing Howard's embarrassment. After two seconds, she politely asked:
"Mr. Howard, do you need my help?"
"No need." Howard rejected the Eldar's proposal. In his opinion, helping to put on clothes or feed food was something that could only be done between close people, and he and the Eldar were not familiar enough to that extent.
"Um... could you please step aside for a moment?" Howard asked again.
"Of course, I'll wait for you outside." Mei responded.
Then she walked across the guest room and opened the door to the corridor, but before she went out she turned back to look at Howard.
"Mr. Howard." Mei reached out and tapped the back of her neck. "Here, you have to undo the buckle here before you can put it on."
After saying that, she closed the door.
After Mei's guidance and some effort, Howard finally put on the clothes.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing clothes with a strong Baroque decadent and gorgeous style. The materials used were all matte tones, but the details were extremely meticulous. Some parts looked ordinary to Howard in the mirror, but when he lowered his head and looked closer, he realized how complicated they were.
The garment was decorated with copper-plated skulls and various other patterns, and the hem of the garment was connected to a number of structures similar to armor skirts. Each strip of armor was inscribed with sacred texts and framed with silver.
What was stuck on him just now was the leather shoulder collar and the half cloak attached to it. It was called a shoulder collar, but it was actually closer to a leather shoulder armor. Howard felt that these hard leathers were pressing against his waist and bending his shoulders back. Anyone wearing this clothes must hold his head high and chest out.
After putting on this outfit, Howard felt like he was doing cosplay from the appearance, but from the physical sense, he felt that he was not wearing clothes, but a frame made of cloth, leather and metal frame.
He tried to take a step. The leather boots on his feet were equally hard and heavy. He tried his best to avoid making any noise, but the sound of the soles of his boots touching the ground was still extremely harsh. And every time he took a step forward, the various decorations on his body rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound that he could not bear.
He finally understood why the old witcher in the game he played told his vampire friend that the most uncomfortable time for him was when he wore fancy court clothes to attend the king's banquet.
Howard put the phone in his pocket and opened the door with great awkwardness. Unexpectedly, May was standing outside waiting for him.
Howard observed the Eldar's attire. She was wearing a short black skirt, thigh-high boots, black gloves, and even a small hat.
The whole body is black, which is a bit monotonous, so the person who designed this suit painted the lining of the boots dark red. In this way, the turned-out part of the upper end of the boots is particularly eye-catching in the overall black. The area above this dark red is the place that was called the absolute territory in the 3k era.
I can only say that this governor's aesthetic taste is still online.
"This suits you very well. I know you're not used to it, but if you want to hold power in the future, you'll have to get used to this kind of clothing." When Howard examined May's clothes, May commented on Howard's outfit: "It's just that you're too thin. It would be better if you were stronger to hold up this dress."
May's words made Howard feel a little better, and then she saw Jasmine and the nun walking towards them.
The nun was still wearing power armor, but she had a silver cloak draped over her back.
For Imperial personnel, no finery compares to a suit of power armor.
Jasmine was still wearing the uniform of the Military Affairs Department, which was easy to understand. Howard, Gloria and May were all "distinguished guests", so they had to dress gorgeously to show respect to their hosts.
Although this woman had some connection with the Governor and other forces, her only recognized identity was that of an assistant, so in the subsequent ceremony, her position was a "staff member."
"Mr. Howard, Miss May, good morning." Jasmine bowed slightly to the three of them. "I'm very sorry to have kept you all waiting. Something went wrong yesterday, which slightly disrupted our original plans."
"What's the trouble?" Howard asked casually, not taking it seriously at first.
"Last night, our information network was attacked by an unknown source. The intruders nearly took control of the entire Blackwater Fortress command system and issued a series of bizarre commands. After briefly consuming a large amount of computing power, the intruders suddenly ceased their attack. Some of our departments are currently overwhelmed by the aftermath of this attack."
Jasmine then continued, "This attack began and ended so suddenly. No one knows the intruder's intentions, let alone whether he will launch another sudden attack. Therefore, the airship originally assigned to you has been urgently sent for inspection. Please wait for a moment."
Howard: "..."
Howard: "Uh...haha, yeah...that's weird."
